they tell me this. is going to. be talking 202250th anniversary. hello and a warm welcome to focus on europe i will are about below i'm glad you could join us french cuisine is famous the world over so you may be surprised to hear that it's at the heart of a cultural war living the good life in france includes cullen airy delights such as meat cheese and fish the food is so treasured that it was named a unesco world heritage in 2010. but

now a battle is raging over these a very foods by a group of egan's they want all animal products banned from food production they used radical methods against butchers restaurants and merchants to get their message across stephen's keys to not has experienced their wrath firsthand he owns an organic butchery in paris is sound going to market hall that's where the activists targeted his shop and attacked him. 6 o'clock in the morning at the sunken time markets stevens consumer is prepping the start he's a mechanic but your only handles meat from animals that are kept in accordance with her gun extern hundreds he's having a hard time understanding the world. this summer his stand was attacked by a group of militant deviants they poured red paint on his goods the beaconsfield

the attack putting the pictures on the internet. you know. when i looked up 15 or 20 people were standing there shouting their slogans are the animals and. it all went very fast you know. i went around the counter and a fight broke out. i broke a rib. and couldn't work for a week and could feel. the attackers belong to an international association based in the french city of strasburg. there we met the sweetest student just because staff said. you know. it's been proven that a vegan diet is sufficient of all age groups so why keep on slaughtering animals it's next me sick. we live in a system in which people base their existence on that's murder. every day 3000000 animals are murdered in france. 21.

of the stops and thinks the attack on butcher bassoon a stall is absolutely justified the fact the consumer is an organic butcher and cares about the welfare of the animals is a relevant to him. according to radical vegans the french should also do with cheese because they say dairy industry is cruel to animals and will products should be banned as a matter of principle in the country of cuisine this causes some indignation. whether mussels from normandy or jumbo on the beyond many french delicacies i mean from animal products french cuisine even has you know schools world cultural heritage protection. also people like restaurant owner florian p.r.t. could be targeted by the militant feeding but he's not afraid he could lose his customers. if you try to all those people

you've only got a fair bit of it they're not going to eat less meat. on the contrary they'll develop a counter-reaction and say to themselves this is annoying now i'm going to eat meat more than ever. to get on my own. never the less radical vegans are gaining ground in france they shake a purser's by which shark auctions hoping to make france a front runner in the fight against the consumption of animal products. but that controller. may have fewer be considered other countries like the u.k. or the us but i hope that radical action comes from us here in france we don't need to be millions. we'll forceful i don't know what actions we release animals from the stables and rescue them from slaughter. stevens consumer is deeply shocked that he is a butcher was targeted by these activists. limited worship or was it my trade is my

entire life if a customer comes back and tells me that the meat was particularly good then i'm really happy it's great i'm at a loss for words. but north of. the existence of butchers like assume it is completely irrelevant to activists just because starting in view of the suffering of animals he says the profession is trivial. limited professional set up morally unacceptable must disappear there are no more executioners either there were no longer needed and a profession disappeared that. moderates hon rights activists in france are suspicious of such radicalism to get got here has been fighting for animal welfare for years she doesn't believe that violent action will be successful. when you throw stones at butcher shops it's suddenly all about whether you are allowed to eat meat or not. the question of how the animals are actually treated is completely

forgotten. basic needs to consume is closing the student since it's not in the shop he's grateful for every peaceful day when nothing bad happens. so we walk with me there's no way i'm giving up my job and i started my apprenticeship at 14 and now i'm 34 i do this with a passion and will continue doing so refer to the. sunni believe to friends the land of gold they consume. so what do you think should delicacies such as for guar and tar tar be banned i mean know your thoughts on twitter. soccer is nothing without fans words from a legendary scottish coach they are the heart of the game and can inspire players when the chips are down so what happens when a team is denied its fans it's a reality for the ahmed for soccer team from diyarbakir turkey a kurdish stronghold supporters of the club make no secret of their true destroyed

and many turkish nationalists see them as a threat so when the 1st whistle is sounded during a match like here in the city of tarsus politics are often brought on to the pitch . 2nd turkish division club med spore is getting ready for the relegation battle in tarsus a city by the mediterranean the team boss is about to leave for the stadium and the club president expects a tough away game. yet again for fans are not allowed onto the grounds this has been going on for years now the official reason being security concerns the fans that came nevertheless are disappointed because they guarantee security for just 30 to 40 away fans. provocations never originate from our side. we're close from 0 to understanding the piece. in route to the stadium the team's bus is accompanied

by an armored police vehicle apparently because the club's president and his players are from the kurdish stronghold. nobody's bought the debt we need to travel without our friends every time. it's all the kids it's not fair. and it hurts when. you see it in the stadium the police are out in force the kurdish visitors are greeted by the turkish national colors. the match is not going well for the opposing fans shout this is tarsus i won't get out of here again in the end i'm in s'pore loses 50. club president met in columbus rushes out of the stadium. at least this time the team and club officials are spared being beaten up unlike in october. the grim result dampen the players' mood since the authorities banned their fans they've

been on a steady decline. of course we'd love to have her fans supporting us. have stopped counting how many matches we've played without them up this will be inherited from the list. even after the match waiting fans aren't allowed near their team and kill of us and his players have to wait to the police always like them out of the stadium last quoting security reasons. the kurdish city of diotic her home to ahmed spore is set on the banks of the 2 chris river in the past there were recurring violent clashes between kurdish nationals and the turkish state here . the elected mayor of a curve was removed by the government the accusation supporting terrorism now portraits of president aired of on line the streets. met in kill of us a lawyer by profession has witnessed the decline of democracy in his hometown he

himself has been indicted several times. today no rallies press conference or any of the public expression of opinion are allowed in this city anymore. but the kurdish question needs to be solved if we succeed in that. could become a beautiful place on this earth. but there still seems to be a long road ahead ahmed s'pore players have also been repeatedly targeted by the authorities striker dennys not he was born in germany 3 years ago he had to appear in court on terrorist propaganda charges he had publicly criticized turkish security forces after returning to germany his car was shot at on the highway by unknown persons. whether there turkish or kurdish many players don't want to play and care anymore kill of us struggles to find sponsors his club faces

being financially ruined the new stadium on the city's outskirts won't change that either but maintain kill of those wants to keep this club alive as part of kurdish identity in turkey the structure they all shouldn't we live in turkey because we fight for our rights here and for a country where everyone can voice their opinion without fear of repercussion that's because that's what defines ahmed spalls let me get on the spot us. he hopes the story of the only kurdish professional football club in turkey continues even with empty stands and if necessary. germany is unique in europe for its 3 tears school system its advise children into different high schools based on their primary school grades and only one type of secondary school grants access to a university education critics say the system discriminates against children from lower income families and that one's future path should be decided so early on

robben from the south get there has been the odds and is on track to graduate from university still he is plagued by doubts and worries about his future. robin is there and a high school diploma no small feat in the south skittered industry a region where only one in 4 youngsters achieve this that's only half the german average in germany it still matters tremendously into what kind of a family kids are born into it. and i don't i mean i want schools my parents became unemployed and be suddenly faced a whole new situation as a family court has done much for i think then i could understand why my parents told me to learn a trade and something less risky as meaning of the cycle. but i was a bit rebellious and i told myself i need to get out of here and do what's right for me was a horse and that's why i was dismissed and. at 16 robert

decided to carry on to high school to get a diploma my father. stuck with my father was a heavy drinker and got very angry. he used to get very loud. and so on that day he went up into my room because of my decision to stay in school and wrecked it and i mean once everything's honest. that's a night's robin moved out he's still in good terms with his mother and sister. confidantes and he couldn't study at home the television was always player and my husband would have it on while he slept we couldn't turn it off i didn't think robin would pull this off to be honest here. today robin studies months and philosophy in brown strike showing a sister around that is university. she's currently studying for a high school diploma and wants to become a teacher. he's

a role model because he managed to achieve all those things i want to do he's an inspiration. robin meets his former mentor she's from a private foundation called studio on campus that helps some 1300 youngsters from working class families graduated from high school and adopted to university life because in germany these kids don't enjoy the same educational opportunities others do. i think a lot still needs to improve when it comes to equality of opportunity and education . today a person social background still largely determines that person's opportunities in life and what kind of education they get i think a lot of potential is left untapped in this way. katherine philip mentor robin during his final stages in high school and the 1st year at university that's

important because studies show that students from nonacademic parents are far less likely to pursue a doctorate. in germany a person's background still largely determines that person's life chances and crew prospects more so than in most other european countries. so they were robbins back at his old school talking to 10th graders might be deciding soon whether to remain in school to qualify for uni or to learn a trade. many of my friends that decision difficult animals. or not they all managed to achieve something as nothing let me tell you about it. he tells the students that 19 of his former classmates went on to learn a trade. for earned a technical diploma and only here and serve got a high school diploma. it's interesting i'm interested in medicine and that's why

i've applied to become a nurse i've got a job interview coming up. but someday i would like to become a doctor. but for that you need to attend university. studio. my teacher suggested i do ok so training which i didn't know what i should do at the 10th grade. just like the students robert sometimes wonders of higher education is the right choice for him today's meeting cedras and all school friend of his who left school after 10th grade to become a car mechanic. and an engineering degree would have been interesting anything with technology. so why didn't you roll it university this is. well it's a big deal. i was scared i wouldn't pass my exams and all that. good money and plans to get a master craftsman certificates or. maybe even start his own business. has

been on for me things are not as clear everything is much more open there's still a certain risk level this is a cool. robin has at least 2 more years of studying ahead of him for his university degree. but stuff for sale ask myself i'm up wasting my time doing this of course it would be disappointing to take up a job but my degree is of no use to realize that i should have made a good living like cedric i thought better of a deal or are you worried about the future yes yes. taking a ride in cedric's to talk golf wondering whether they've taken the right decisions for the future. well many countries in europe are struggling to cope with immigration others are feeling the effects of emigration

run by thomas plantinga who came to visit the us one of a half years ago because everybody is really in a mall it lets you know let's just build stuff and let's make this a better place and when i work hard i will get like a better future and that is something that is ingrained in everybody so you have a very sharp analytical mindset very strong work in tulsa and that brings a different type of energy and a different type of the livery then you get. from teams in germany in the netherlands there's an optimistic spirits in the lithuanian eye she said earlier young people would leave the country over aging was a serious problem. but then lithuania's government decided to lend its full support to the startup sector it invested in broadband expansion and the founding of companies was simplified last year 611 startups were registered in lithuania over 6 years more than $4300.00 jobs have been created better route to kenya had to be

meet with my friends but my bringing in my solutions can travel globally and i think it's very very attractive. back home in vilnius monica founded it invites a company that wants to help children understand the digital age it all starts with you being curious about what you can create and i would love our kids not to lose that sense of curiosity and to carry it with them and use it doesn't. real real biological too. complemented with less available in the world now. eustace dreams of turning building us into eastern europeans so they can battle. every year he takes his dogs growth seeds i am he's on the out for a while who unsurprisingly have their very own instagram account. you still love trying out new things pushing boundaries and taking. the train is

always has been seen in through the history is always this small underdeveloped nations and we have this kind of stigma about ourselves and when you have this stigma it's a big motivation to the u.k. where it will show that it's not the case and then you can go extra mile. if you wait i thought but you can see with id piny is keen to conquer the tech well and that's certainly the ideas to make it happen. now we would like to introduce your see europe's all this tattoo artist who may even be the world's oldest working one at $87.00 price from plymouth england has lost count of how many people he's tattooed and though his clientele has changed over the decades doc says there's one thing that has stood the test of time.

how does a small shop implement a living legend darryl dr pryce age 87 and day in day out he works on human bodies he's worn out hundreds of machines and sees himself as a scribe not an artist he's proud of being the oldest tattoo artist in europe 70 years ago his motifs were for criminals sailors ladies of love nowadays they're for the rich and poor young and old that's for business the fine line between love and hate. good luck business to assume the love for the smooth cool of all because of the scope. of the relationship because of. his 1st tattoo in 1945 he was 13 his mother was curious and was about him until she saw the word mother. duck price fell for ours and is self-taught sometimes

he made bad mistakes he has a reading and spelling weakness his home in wales cape town sydney the stations before he settled in the south of england it's been 60 years since he had to throw a drunken sailor out of his shop. because he says to the school you know through the roof you're working every day. with the new congress board with some of those who have a price of a hole because this is. your dream it's over the tree but this year with 3. in the end he passed on his passion to his only son still. love him so jock price says he may not be the greatest artist to happen to most passionate one. which is why he'll continue tattooing until he's no longer able to.
